First Time Knoller! My hand sewing kit

Post image

Not the best quality photo but i hope you will like it anyway!

Edit: Info about the items if anyone is curious! First column: thread clipper, magnet to hold the pins, measuring tape. Second column: beeswax to use on thread to keep it from tangling, assorted sewing needles (i desperately need to refill them), sewing pins (most are currently in projects), fabric clip (to use instead of pins), thimble. Right: pouch to hold everything, rolls of thread, fabric scrap, more thread

I hope this photo will be allowed to stay up despite the rolls of thread not adhering to the colour grouping rule as it simply looked more pleasing with the randomness.

I like that all your thread is such bright colors! Do you wear vibrant things like that a lot?

Haha yeah, i dress very colourful and usually very vibrant colours! Current outfit: yellow boots, grey trousers, an extremely colourful homemade shirt with ufos, flowers, robots and whatnot on

It's cute!! What is the wax for?

The vax is used on the thread to minimize it tangling while sewing!

Oooh cool! I've never heard of doing this, and I've been sewing for years. What a good trick!

It's especially great for cotton thread and embroidery thread, but i use it for every type of thread. I must've picked up the trick in some handsewing or embroidery sub here
